The Calumny of Apelles, 1602
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient Greece, where the renowned painter Apelles of Ephesus once thrived. Created by Cornelis Cort during the 17th century Northern Renaissance period, this allegorical masterpiece delves into themes of treachery and accusation. Intriguingly, the print showcases an array of characters from Greek mythology. At its center stands Apelles himself, falsely accused and dragged before a tribunal. Surrounding him are various allegorical figures representing different aspects of calumny: Envy with her serpent-like tongue, Deceit whispering falsehoods into the ear of Ignorance, and Suspicion clutching her dagger. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line meticulously etched to convey emotion and narrative depth. The presence of Hermes/Mercury wielding his caduceus reinforces the gravity of this moment as he acts as both messenger and guide through this ordeal. Cornelis Cort's skillful execution brings forth a visual feast for art enthusiasts. The intricate composition draws our eyes towards each figure in turn while capturing their intertwined relationships within this complex web of deceit. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "The Calumny of Apelles" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message about human nature and the power dynamics inherent in accusations. This print serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and space while reminding us that truth should always prevail over slanderous words.
